Description
Nisha featuring Sophia Loren
Archival pigment inks and screen print on Arches Aquarelle archival paper
Finishes - Diamond dust and glosses with straight cut edges
Signed and numbered limited edition of 60
Maria Rivans' latest artwork "Nisha" features vintage Hollywood icon Sophia Loren. Inspired by Rivans' Italian heritage and the nostalgia of vintage cinema, Rivans pays homage to Loren, a figure who resonates deeply with her memories of Sunday matinees and family connection.
The title "Nisha" draws from Hindu philosophy, symbolising courage and spirit, evoking a sense of inner strength and resilience. The majestic headdress is crafted from an array of birds, jewels, and pearls, representing the multifaceted essence of the human spirit, adorned with elements of nature and precious gems that reflect the complexity and beauty of the inner self.
The dress is embellished with black diamonds, powerful symbols of boldness, overcoming adversity, and inner strength. The juxtaposition of darkness and brilliance in the diamonds echoes the complexities of life, where moments of challenge and darkness are interwoven with moments of beauty and brilliance.
Against the backdrop of a cloudy sky emerges a visual dreamscape where the lines between reality and imagination blur. The cloudy sky serves as a metaphor for the ebb and flow of life's journey, where moments of clarity and uncertainty coexist. Rivans invites us to explore the depths of the human experience, where courage, spirit, and resilience shine brightest amidst the tumultuous skies of existence.
"Nisha" celebrates the enduring power of the human spirit and the transformative magic of imagination, where Rivans encourages us to embrace our own inner strength and courage in the face of life's challenges.
Presentation
Maria Rivans graduated in 3D design from Brighton Art College in 1986. She has exhibited in art fairs across the UK, as well as in New York City and in 2011 she was a finalist in the Aesthetica Creative Works Competition. Maria has a strong collector following and her work is highly sought after.
Maria Rivans’ eye-popping collages explore the idea of existing alternate realities and fantastical other worlds which transport us into a surreal and exciting universe. By appropriating an array of sourced vintage ephemera, Maria seeks to overwhelm us with her compositions by combining vivid and seductive colours with powerful and often humorous imagery.
Best known for her intricate surreal landscapes, pin-up portraits and 3D boxed works, the viewer often experiences a visual and sensory overload from the hundreds of carefully cut-out found elements culled from her huge collection of vintage paraphernalia.
Influenced by the extraordinary colours of Hitchcock films shown in Technicolor and sci-fi TV shows such as Land of the Giants and Planet of the Apes, these heroes from the past have been altered by combining and blending other found imagery scavenged from different eras, thus inviting the viewer into her strange and peculiar world.
Rivans’ collages have a firm running theme of vintage Hollywood films, B Movies and TV trash. The screenplays of vintage films like ‘The Birds, Mildred Pierce and Planet of the Apes’ have been rewritten and reinvented, resulting in newly collaged screen plots which intertwine throughout her body of work, spinning bizarre and dreamlike tales
